Thanks, don't really want to go the epoxy route, I think it will be even uglier (though safer) than it currently is.
Thanks also to @Dammit and @Greenbank - I have some old jeweler's files, these might work, and replacement is not not an option as she actually has another but apparently the handle has a slightly different shape that is not as comfortable...
Goes back to the ugly epoxy issue, but thanks for the suggestion - still have to get some of that stuff, not usually available in stores in this country.
